Most socio-economically advantaged suburbs in Western Australia

The 25 suburbs in Western Australia with the highest Suburb Score— our transparent 0–100 measure of socio-economic advantage, derived from the Australian Bureau of Statistics' SEIFA index of the 2021 Census. Higher means more advantaged on the ABS's own composite of income, education and occupation.

This ranks suburbs purely on a socio-economic measure from ABS Census data. It is not a measure of how good a suburb is to live in or visit — advantage is not the same as livability, character or value. How we calculate the Suburb Score.

Suburbs with no ABS SEIFA score (some very small or unpopulated localities) are not ranked. Where suburbs share an identical SEIFA score they share a Suburb Score. The Suburb Score is always a national percentile, so a state list shows how its top suburbs sit against the whole country — not just against each other.
